How price input is collected
The data input for the DCA Frozen Fries Open Market Index, the DCA Fastfood Index, and the DCA Frozen Fries 70/30 Index is collected every Friday afternoon. The three indices are calculated for the current week based on the prices gathered during that week. If no (partial) price is available for any of the data inputs for the indices during that week, the previous (partial) price is used, with a maximum look-back period of 3 weeks. If, in this manner, prices are unavailable for more than one input, the Open Market Index, the Fastfood Index, and/or the Frozen Fries 70/30 Index for that week will not be calculated until such prices become available again.
